• Starleen Make Digital Unease Feel Human

  06-10-2026 20:19 via Magnetic Magazine
  
  Starleen’s Evolution // Rebirth is an album about digital unease, but it works because the duo keeps a human pulse inside the machine. The Dallas experimental electronic and art-pop project use glitch-heavy rhythms, corroded synths, and dark electronic pressure, yet the record never turns into a cold exercise in texture.That tension is the point. Evolution // Rebirth sits between electronic pop, IDM, dance, and cinematic discomfort, with vocals that feel suspended inside the production rat

• Mikhail Ilyin Builds What is real? From A Ritual Moment

  Mikhail Ilyin could have turned What is real? into a record about ideas, which is usually where projects with titles like that start getting heavy fast. But the more interesting part is that it began somewhere much less formal: at a Nowruz gathering, in a room with friends, when someone started playing and the night briefly took on the feeling of a ritual. The recording came later, almost as an attempt to get back to that state without pretending it could be neatly recreated.That gives the music

• Baby Audio HyperWarp Bends Time Fast

  06-10-2026 19:30 via Magnetic Magazine
  
  Baby Audio’s HyperWarp is built around a familiar producer problem: you have a loop, stem, vocal chop, pad, drum break, or synth line that is fine, but it needs motion before it feels like an idea worth keeping.The plugin answers that with a granular engine and a graphical time sequencer. Users can draw speed shifts, stutter steps, and direction changes directly into the plugin, then use the granular side to reshape the audio into rhythmic chops, smeared motion effects, lo-fi damage, or mo

• Analogue Solutions Ships More Filtopia Units

  Analogue Solutions’ Filtopia is not built around the usual monosynth pitch. The headline here is the filter section, and that is where the synth makes its case.The limited-edition stereo analog monosynth is anchored around five parallel analog filters, giving users a way to shape sound across multiple frequency areas at once. That is a different mindset from the standard single-filter subtractive synth workflow, where most of the movement happens around one cutoff-and-resonance relationshi

• The Shining Light After the Eclipse – An Interview with HALIENE

  06-10-2026 18:37 via Magnetic Magazine
  
  Sometimes when I am listening to music, I want to just enjoy something in the background as I’m getting some work done or just relaxing. Other times, I want to just hear something with solid grooves and melodies to get me dancing, but most of the time, I want music to take me on a voyage. I want lyrics that reach into the depths of the soul and transport me to other worlds.In my search for music that touches me deeply, I’m grateful to have come across one of the most prolific and sou
